Hausdorff Continuous Interval Functions and Approximations

چکیده
The set of interval Hausdorff continuous functions constitutes the largest space preserving basic algebraic and topological structural properties of continuous functions, such as linearity, ring structure, Dedekind order completeness, etc. Spaces of interval functions have important applications not only in the construction of numerical methods and algorithms, but to problems in abstract areas such as real analysis, set-valued analysis, approximation theory and the analysis of PDEs. In this work, we summarize some basic results about the family of interval Hausdorff continuous functions that make interval analysis a bridge between numerical and real analysis. We focus on some approximation issues formulating a new result on the Hausdorff approximation of Hausdorff continuous functions by interval step functions. The Hausdorff approximation of the Heaviside interval step function by sigmoid functions arising from biological applications is also considered, and an estimate for the Hausdorff distance is obtained.

On the Normed Linear Space of Hausdorff Continuous Functions
In the present work we show that the linear operations in the space of Hausdorff continuous functions are generated by an extension property of these functions. We show that the supremum norm can be defined for Hausdorff continuous functions in a similar manner as for real functions, and that the space of all bounded Hausdorff continuous functions on an open set is a normed linear space. Some i...
متن کاملAlgebraic Computations with Hausdorff Continuous Functions
The set of Hausdorff continuous functions is the largest set of interval valued functions to which the ring structure of the set of continuous real functions can be extended. The paper deals with the automation of the algebraic operations for Hausdorff continuous functions using an ultraarithmetical approach.
متن کاملNumerical Computations with Hausdorff Continuous Functions
Hausdorff continuous (H-continuous) functions appear naturally in many areas of mathematics like Approximation Theory [11], Real Analysis [1], [8], Interval Analysis, [2], etc. From numerical point of view it is significant that the solutions of large classes of nonlinear partial differential equations can be assimilated through H-continuous functions [7]. As a particular case the discontinuous...
متن کاملAlgebraic operations on the space of Hausdorff continuous interval functions
We show that the operations addition and multiplication on the set C(Ω) of all real continuous functions on Ω ⊆ Rn can be extended to the set H(Ω) of all Hausdorff continuous interval functions on Ω in such a way that the algebraic structure of C(Ω) is preserved, namely, H(Ω) is a commutative ring with identity. The operations on H(Ω) are defined in three different but equivalent ways. This all...
متن کاملThe ring of real-continuous functions on a topoframe
A topoframe, denoted by $L_{ tau}$, is a pair $(L, tau)$ consisting of a frame $L$ and a subframe $ tau $ all of whose elements are complementary elements in $L$. In this paper, we define and study the notions of a $tau $-real-continuous function on a frame $L$ and the set of real continuous functions $mathcal{R}L_tau $ as an $f$-ring. We show that $mathcal{R}L_{ tau}$ is actually a generali...
